Eighth Grade (2018)

Director: Bo Burnham. Cast: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson. 93 min. Rated R. Drama.

In my age, it's tough to empathize with a teenager who's ending middle school. The means of communication today are vastly different, the teenagers much more ruthless, the desperation to fit in more dreadful - since I was in middle school ... 30 years ago. But Eight Grade helped me understand exactly how this eighth grader felt, especially how gloomy and uncertain her future looks. Watch it if you want to see the world from her eyes; definitely watch it if you have a child this age.
